Do any of you guys know anyone who has a gas pump junk yard? I know that Ryan Underthun sells used parts. Anyone else besides him?

That's not a junk yard. More like a Wasp Habitat !
Hate to be in there in July/August digging around.

DB-- Yes, I saw Rob's place and his pumps. He has some great stuff for sure. The avocados were nice, too.

I have 1 pump out side and get wasps every year in that thing. I can only imagine what all those pumps are like. LOL
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

I though Tom Buckles bought all those, but I could be wrong. My memory is not as good as it used to be. Richard

Ya, it was awhile ago, so that is why I thought it would be good to update and see if there are any that anyone knows of.
It would be helpful if there is and if there isn't then I know that I might try to start one as apart of the Shoppe.

Here start planning your road trip and purchase. www.oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=485988#Post485988Maybe this will be one way of curing yourself of wanting to save every parts pump you come across.

In 1990 I had just over 200 gas pumps, but they were stored in the two largest storage lockers near my house in St. Louis.
I may have been the first person who actively went in the business of selling used gas pump parts.
Most of my sales came from advertising in Love's publications, CTO and Tiger Rag.

Gas Pump Johnny In MA had quite a gas pump junkyard and business going long before the 90's

I would imagine that back in the day, some of the pump distributors that were rebuilding pumps would have amassed a supply of derelict pumps to supply their own parts needs.

I used the word "may" purposely, wanted to get more responses. Even now I remember a place in or just outside Plain City, Ohio who had a ton of pumps in a field. I never stopped there as I had just purchased 21 pumps in Ohio. I couldn't see anything from the 30's mostly 50s & 60s pumps. I have a picture somewhere.

Jack Sim Stored in storage lockers? You could have just used them as a fence in your backyard and save the storage cost.
